: Question on fluid changes...

So I am planning on doing an oil/TC/Frnt and Rear Axel fluid change on Sunday.

The Jeep has been sitting in the garage, un moved for over a week.

In my opinion, it would be best to do the fluid changes now as all the fluid has drained down into their respective catch pans and I will have less old fluid in the body of their repsective parts.

HOWEVER, some people say it is best to run the vehicle to get everything warmed and flowing easier.

What is your thoughts and opinion?

Make the fluid change with or without running the car for 5 or 10 minutes?

I would run it. My jeep sat for 2 weeks before I did the fluid change and I ran it around the block a couple times. Warmed it up and it poured right out.
